ummm. kind of turned me a little bit orange, but then again, i had a few flu-like symptoms so i was pink anyways. the product is really strong; make sure you don't pick up too much product with your brush. i think this, even applied lightly and evenly, is not as good as a lot of other prices for the same price (aka cargo) or ones that are lots cheaper (rimmel). good thing it was my sisters and i didn't have to buy it. it is tolerable, but not the best buy ever. baked bronzer feels good and isn't really shimmery though, makes you pretty glowy.

I was on the hunt for another bronzer to replace my Becca Flamenco. I made use of the Friends and Family discount and got Toasted at a 30% discount. Wow it looks really dark and orange in the pan. The first time I used my MAC face brush. It picked up way too much product. After learning my lesson I decided to use my 187 brush instead. It really made the difference. It suits my NC30 skin tone and gives me a healthy tan look. I love the matt texture. It doesn't streak or turn greasy on me. I'm really glad I picked this up.

Cons:

I used this one for a long time but now prefer Nars' Laguna.

I so wanted to love this. The color is great and matte so no glitter issues to deal with enhancing large pores. The problem with this is it left me looking flat. The texture really just sat on my skin no matter how much I blended or buffed. I work very hard to acheive a dewy look and this bronzer killed that look. This was returned.

First off, this is for the toasted bronzer, which comes in a silver tin. I just started using this bronzer this year and I really like it. I never thought I could actually use a bronzer cause I'm a pretty pale individual, but this actually looks nice on my skin (in moderation lol) It doesn't seem to make my sensitive skin break out, and it ads a nice healthy look to my skin (cheeks, nose, forehead and chin w/a large powder brush gives a nice finish). The only thing I don't like is that the tone can be really orange if you overdo it. I also don't really care for the shimmer in it, but I tend to like matte products on my face anyway. (If you like shimmer, this one is really nice and not tacky or chunky at all) On the up side, I love that it is baked which makes it really fine and not heavy in any way! I would definitely but this again if I can't find a really matte bronzer that I like.

I first purchased the new Gilded baked bronzer and loved it so I decided to purchase Toasted which was a matte bronzer for days when I don't want to "glow". This is perfect to give my NC40 skin some warmth. Very natural and sheer so it is buildable. Although it is matte it doesn't look flat just natural. Would buy again.

I'm i love with this stuff.
It looks great on my olive skin, as well as some of my friends fair skin, and its a good contour. It feels nice, not heavy at all like some bronzers. A little of this stuff goes a LONG way, it may have been kinda pricey when i bought it, but it lasts pretty long. I like how you can mix up the wet and dry and not have it mess up the bronzer left in the compact. I'm buying again.

The shade of this bronzer is very natural looking and it went on smoothly. Unfortunately, it also did not last very well and had faded within a few hours of application to the point where it was gone. To be fair though, I do have oily skin and perhaps this would work better on someone who did not.

So I was always afraid of trying this bronzer, as I always felt it looked to dark or too orangish in the compact...but urban decay was having the 30% off special code, so I figured it's worth a shot after coming out to like $15 with the discount. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! (I got it in the matte color by the way, hate shimmer) Not only does it looks natural and even, the color gives off such a nice sunkissed look! Not only that, but in comparison to my other bronzers I've tried and used, this one lasts the longest on my oily skin. I usually find with my others, even my beloved Sugar bronzer, that sometime 4-5 hours after application, it'll get a little blotchy since my skin is oily, but this one lasts all day! Definitely will repurchase!

Ohhh...yuck. I hate this stuff. It's an ugly orangy color, it's VERY shimmery/frosty and it magnifies every blemish on your face.

I Like it but I don't LOVE it. I enjoy the wet dry thing, still working out the kinks with that, but I have hope. The color is nice, but I find it looks "odd" if i dust it all over my face ( I have a wierd skin tone though, & am very particular about bronzers) I have very light blonde hair & brows, freckled golden skin, and it has to be just right. Some days I love it, other days I'm thinking Hmmm...& the attraction is...? I like that the shimmer in the Toasted is at the minimum- Overall a pleasant golden color.

What I do crave and can't belive it's hardly mentioned is; mine (the TOASTED) smells of true cocoa. It's delish, This would normally annoy, but somehow does not!

I think this is a really great bronzer if you fall into the PPP-LLL range, which I do. I also am cool toned with red hair, and a lot of bronzers look extremely orange on me. Not so with this one! I get a nice natural looking glow, and there is a slight shimmer, but nothing overwhelming and barely noticeable. I also use it on my eyes when I'm in a rush in the morning. I haven't tried it wet, but if I do I will update my review. For now, I will repurchase.

I personally find this bronzer a bit too orange to look good on my light skin, but I like the versatility you get by adding water. The packaging is cute, but the plastic top of the compact popped off and I haven't been able to fix it. So now I have an orange powdery mess in my makeup bag because of this. I personally wouldn't repurchase because there are other more believable bronzers out there.

i love this bronzer, it is the perfect color for me and it never turns orange. I live in texas and wear heavy sunscreen on my face so a lot of the times my face is lighter than the rest of my body, because sunscreen tends to wear off on my arms and chest. This really give me a natural tanned look and evens my face out with the rest of my body. It wears really well also, i have a big problem with blushes and bronzers disapearing through out the day and this product does not. It last and last because it is actually baked on tarra cotta, but if i ever run out i will buy it again.

this is my HG bronzer! I am SOOO in love! it goes on so nice, and is blendable. this has a nice bronzey glow to it, and I think could look good on many skin tones. I'm an NC20-25 for reference.

EDIT: kinda makes you look a bit oily at the end of the day, from the sheen in the formula.

I've FINALLY found my HG bronzer!!! I'm really pale, (NW15, in winter,) and I always have had trouble finding a bronzer that wasn't too orange, muddy, or shimmery. However, just before I was about to give up, I decided to try this-- I bought it in Toasted. It's the perfect natural, glowy-but-still-matte bronzer that goves me the perfect amount of sunny color. It's the exact color my skin becomes when it's sunkissed, so you can't tell I'm wearing bronzer at all! 5 lippies for a wonderful product!!

I have repurchased the toasted version twice now. not only do i love the packaging... but i really like the way this bronzer looks on my face. this product has just the right amount of color and shimmer. not too much shimmer at all when used right. however, if you go overboard... you can tell. my mother reminds me every time i see her!

I like the look of the baked powder in the case, but not on my face. I tired this because by usual bronzer, MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Goldbit was a limited edition. They are both baked products, but the Urban Decay was just not for me. I love most of their products, but not this one.

Love this bronzer. Got it in Toasted. It's the perfect matte bronzer for my skin (NW20). It gives a great natural color, not orange at all. Nothing bad to say about it. Great product. Would repurchase.
